Abstract
Provided are a microorganism that produces a diamine compound and a method of producing a diamine compound. The genetically modified microorganism expresses an enzyme involved in synthesis of a diamine compound, in which the diamine compound is represented by Formula: H2N—R—NH2 (wherein, R is a chain or cyclic organic group comprised of one or more atoms selected from the group consisting of C, H, O, N, and S), and the genetically modified microorganism is modified to reduce an activity of an alcohol dehydrogenase compared to a non-reduced strain.
